Is the f/4 aperture a problem?

Outdoors and in good light it is fine. Indoors or for strong background blur you will want a faster prime or an f/2.8 zoom.

Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?

Yes, on E-mount APS-C bodies it gives a 36-157mm equivalent range. It is larger than most APS-C zooms.

It reaches 105mm instead of 70mm and is generally sharper at the long end. It is also bigger and heavier.

Yes. The lens and body stabilization work together, which helps most at the long end and in video.
